| Will Wadio ever make an SACD player? The latest failed format, from the company that specializes in formats that don't gain acceptance. Beta, the Elcaset, SACD... the body count continues to grow. It's enough to make you wonder how much a big Sony monitor might cost if they weren't c... | |
| Felix Hell on Reference Recordings WHOA Now organists everywhere have something they can aspire to: being able to play like Hell. BTW, in what city is WHOA? Obviously somewhere in the east. | |
| Mail Boxes Etc. now to be called the UPS Store Theo, you're close. In actuality, UPS stands for Umpteen Pieces and Slivers. | |
| Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM Sean, you are obviously a very intelligent man. Here's my point: From the Bible to Egyptian hieroglyphics, human history is rife with references to extraterrestrials. When "Ezekiel Saw De Wheel," what do you suppose that big wheel up in the sky wa... | |
| Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM Make light of it if you will, but the fact is, it doesn't really matter who you vote for. The die is already cast. That's my point. Sorry you missed it. You may already be suffering from Stepford Citizen's Syndrome. I highly recommend following th... | |
| Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM Sean and Zaikesman, your points are well taken. Sean, you in particular, I feel, have hit the nail on the head. For me, globalization necessarily means fewer -- not greater -- choices. Those who are in control put together bigger and bigger deals ... | |
| Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM Alas, my friends, I believe that the motivation behind all this is even more diabolical than you can imagine. When you have a lot of time -- and I mean a LOT of time -- go to Goggle and type in the words BILDERBERG ORGANIZATION. Read as much as yo... | |
| What are some excellent mid -priced tuners? At $1600 plus an additional $400 for the remote controlled version, you may not consider the top-of-the-line Magnum Dynalab MD100 a "mid price" tuner, but I absolutely love mine. I wouldn't trade it for anything, and having a remote controlled tun... | |
| Naxos Bruckner Symphony Set If you appreciate Bruckner, you simply MUST obtain a copy of his 9th Symphony by STANISLAW SKROWACZEWSKI and the MINNESOTA ORCHESTRA on Reference Recordings. I own virtually their entire classical catalog, and I'm here to tell you that there are n... | |
| Improving imaging If your system had good stage at one time and now it doesn't, even though you haven't changed audio components or room components, don't overlook the possibilty that one or more of your cables has developed a problem. This problem could range anyw... | |
| Home made cables For interconnects, Mogami Neglex 2534 microphone cable and Canare gold RCA plugs. I have these cab;es throughout my system, and have yet to find anything that beats them, regardless of the price. The Mogami can be bought from Mars Music if you don... | |
| Mobile Fidelity is back in business MoFi missed the mark on a great many of their CDs, too. In many instances, the original release sounded better than MoFi's remastered version. Looking at Holman's original post at the top of this thread, he said "Music Direct...has bought Mobile F... | |
| This kills me... Eldon, I think the experience you relate is also largely due to the removal of the visual cues you enjoyed while seeing the music performed live. With all that lighting and stage production going on, to say nothing of the performers' theatrics, it... | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list If you don't own a copy of SWING, SWING, SWING by John Williams and the Boston Pops on Philips (412 626-2) I suggest you go out and buy one. If you're not yet a fan of big band music, you soon will be after playing this CD. Just the opening cut al... | |
| I live in a large cement room... Leave the rugs. Take the rest of that crap out of the room and replace it with a set of Argent Room Lenses. They work. I bought a set (of 3) here on AudiogoN for $850, and it was like I had spent the money upgrading a major component. |
